Clinical Comparison of Alb-PRF vs PRF on Postoperative Morbidity Following FGG Harvesting

Clinical Comparison of Albumin Platelet Rich- Fibrin (Alb- PRF) versus Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on Postoperative Morbidity Following Free Gingival Graft Harvesting: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial(RCT) Study settings: * The study will be conducted in the Oral Medicine and Periodontology department, Faculty of Dentistry - Cairo University, Egypt. * Patients will be selected from the Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology-Cairo University outpatient clinic. Expected Duration of Participation and Number of Participants: Research Duration: 28 days Number of Participants: 39 volunteers Work Plan: During the first visit, preoperative photographs will be taken. Then, participants will be randomly assigned (using a website) into three groups: Group A: Application of Alb-PRF at the donor site of the free gingival graft. Group B: Application of PRF at the donor site of the free gingival graft. Control: Application of Gelatin Sponge at the donor site. * 10 ml of venous blood will be drawn from the patient to prepare Alb-PRF and PRF membranes for placement at the donor site. * The membrane or gelatin sponge will be placed at the donor site and sutured. Postoperative Protocol: After surgery, patients will be instructed to take 600 mg of ibuprofen, and 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash for two weeks postoperatively. Analgesics will be recommended only if there is pain, and no antibiotics will be prescribed. Patients will receive verbal and written dietary advice postoperatively. They will be encouraged to avoid heat sources and adhere to a diet of cold and soft foods. Cleaning the adjacent palatal side of the surgical site will be prohibited to avoid irritation, while gentle cleaning will be recommended after dressing removal. In case of postoperative problems such as unusual bleeding or gum recession, patients will be provided with contact information for their physician for early intervention. During Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain recording, patients will be instructed only to describe pain from the palate and to track additional analgesic intake and consumed tablets. Follow-up visits will be scheduled on days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 postoperatively. Postoperative Follow-up: Palatal sutures will be removed after 7 days post-surgery. On days 14, 21, and 28, wound healing, tissue color match, complete re-epithelialization of the wound, and clinical wound healing area will be monitored.

Effect of Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive Versus Collagen Sponge on Palatal Donor Site Healing

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the use of cyanoacrylate glue (PeriAcryl) is effective in healing of the palatal donor site in adults requiring a free gingival graft. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer \[is/are\]: Does PeriAcryl accelerate the palatal tissue healing compared with the use of collagen sponge? Does PeriAcryl usage leave the patients more satisfied? Researcher will compare the outcomes of participants treated with PeriAcryl to those treated with collagen sponge to see if PeriAcryl accelerated the healing process of palatal tissues and led to fewer postoperative complications. Participants will: * be assigned to a study group using PeriAcryl or control group using Collagen sponge. * be followed-up to monitor healing and gather clinical information.

Palatal Mucosa Wound Healing Following Antimicrobial Gel Application

The present study will be a prospective, randomized, triple-blind, split-mouth, clinical trial. The study timeline will be include seven total visits. After a screening/study enrolment visit, a wounding surgery visit (Day 0) will be schedule. On Day 0, one standardized wound will be created on each side of the palate (DFGG required for root coverage procedure). Each side of the palate randomly received either antimicrobial gel (treatment group) or placebo (control group) at day 0, 1 and 3. The patients, an experienced periodontist who performed the surgical procedures and the clinical examiners will be blinded to treatment allocation. Clinical healing response and patient related outcome measures (PROMs) will be evaluated on postoperative Day 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30.

Comparison of Palatal Wound Healing in Diabetic and Non-diabetic Patients

This study aims to characterize and compare the closure of open wounds in the palatal mucosa of diabetic and non-diabetic patients, evaluate clinical, patient-centered and immunological parameters as well as wound microbiome composition.
